Jazz musician Linda Sikhakhane, who has recently released his second single, ‘Ukukhushulwa’, is set to drop his brand new album, ‘lladi’ on July 12.
‘Ukukhushulwa’, which translates to ‘transcendence’, is a deeply evocative piece that captures Sikhakhane’s exploration of music as a vehicle for transcending the ordinary.
In a statement released, this latest single is a testament to his continued growth and artistic evolution, illustrating his commitment to pushing the boundaries of jazz and contemporary African music.
The saxophonist and arranger says this single speaks to growth. He explains growth as a constant and eternal process, an infinite journey that is ongoing.
“This piece represents the sonic as a mode for reaching beyond ordinary limitations. It speaks to growth at many levels as an eternal phenomenon, a journey that is eternal,” Sikhakhane said.
The first single, titled ‘Inkehli’ – a Zulu term referring to a woman in the pivotal transition of becoming a wife, a role that signifies her centrality within the family – was released on May 31.
Sikhakhane’s upcoming album promises to be a groundbreaking collection of works that further establish his place in the global music scene.
